I didn't have enough time to really see all the cool things at this flea market. You probably need a few hours at the least if you like to dig through old books and old dishes and such. The market has a little bit of...More

Also called the Old Flea Market ( don't think there is a new one). What there is new about this bustling and somewhat chaotic place is the fantastic mirrored canopy outside. The old flea market dates back to the Middle Ages and has been at...More

We stumbled across this market by chance and what a find , a real mixture of bootfair stalls to high end antiques . We discovered an incredible vintage light shop here the best we've ever seen . It’s got a wonderful atmosphere and some lovely...More

We stay in a hotel nearby and was captivaed by the Architecture with the mirrored roof. We explored the site and was filled with bustling traders and was exciting to see the antiques. There's also food at the top where there was fired anchovies, calamari...More

This market is definitely for the bargain hunters. Held in a train station it has 3 levels worth of wares. Mostly junk but if you dont mind sifting through piles of second hand clothes and costume jewelry you might find a treasure. If you like...More

I love a good yard sale and searching for treasuress. This was a great place to do that. That large open area in the center of the market consists of vendors selling a variety of smaller antique items. Some of the tables are more organized...More

Passing through the glorious Plaça Catalunya, youenter the newer city district of Eixample, literallytranslated as “extension,” which immediately becomesrecognizable by its more spacious streets and elegantatmosphere.

Hello, I read a Lonely Planet free things to do article that said there is vintage clothing shopping at the Els Encants Vells flea market and also vintage clothing shops in El Raval. We love funky second hand/vintage shopping, junk shops, antiques, etc. Are these two locations good places to spend a few hours each? If not, can you recommend some neighborhoods with good second hand shops and antique shops please? Thanks very much!

Flea Market in Barcelona? (7 Replies)

Hi! While in Paris, we loved visiting the flea market at Saint Ouen. I've read about Mercat Del Encants but was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on it or other interesting flea markets. Thanks!
